Dear Editor,
I saw recently in the press that the Georgetown municipality has spent some $150m for the drainage works here in the city prior to the rainy season. I can take persons on a tour of the city not quite a quarter mile away from city hall and show where there are drains so filled that we can easily walk across them.
The problem with city drainage is that the people who administrate the works do not plan these activities. Years ago such activities were carefully planned and starting with the critical areas they were able to get things under control. Contractors were not used. The Council had a diligent work force that was equipped with rudimentary tools and they did excellent work.
Today we have all kinds of excavators and engineers and we spend huge sums of monies and are still heavily inundated. We cannot go back to the days of rudimentary tools but we can better use the resources that are available to us. The Council needs to take a few steps back and objectively observe what it is doing. The council needs to inculcate a new work ethic. We need to hire conscientious workers, pay them well and get out of the contractor syndrome.
